Damages
$150,000 in cash
Is that all? Surely there has to be a few more zeroes or a 'million' missing from that figure, not worth getting the Judge out of bed for a claim that small.
Erm
I had to squint almost to the point of closing my eyes before I could get them to look the even vaguely similar.
Perhaps Adidias should sue Ericsson for using a similar 3 stripes logo?

I agree, the only thing that looks the same is the fact both logos are circular.
I think confusion could be easy
If you saw tiny versions of each logo embossed onto a phone it's easy to see how confusion could arise.
Really?
Shirley Ocado should be more pissed off than Sony Ericsson?
This is what you get from style boutiques
All your logos are belong to the swirl. And they all look alike and have nothing to do with your company. If SonyEricsson's logo was an imaginative blend of S and E this would not have happened and it might be more recognized.

'If SonyEricsson's logo was an imaginative blend of S and E this would not have happened'
I thought it was. Very abstract but it is there; It takes some effort to see it (so therefore not worth it).

Isn't the Clearwire logo not also very similar to the Ocado logo?
What about Barclaycard?
it might not be green but is a lot more similar with the swirl..
That's marbleous!
My cats occasionally chase marbles around my house - I'm sure some of the marbles look EXACTLY like both of those logos. Does that mean I (or possibly my cats or maybe even the marble manufacturer) can sue both Sony Ericsson AND Clearwire over this?
I off to phone my lawyer...

gob-stopper I had years agp.
Talk about prior art.
Laundry detergent?
I also though the Sony Ericsson logo looked like it was for a washing liquid...
